Much to Geordie's horror he has been compelled to read another Star Wars book. And worse yet... he likes it. The fellas review Timothy Zahn's continuation of the original Star Wars trilogy. They have their first encounter with iconic characters like Thrawn and Mara Jade, discuss wife-guy Han Solo, the significance of light sabre colours, the presence of hot chocolate in the series, and Geordie vents his feelings on Star Wars fans.

¿Qué es la Inteligencia artificial?, ¿Qué es la inteligencia natural? Las novelas de Star Wars escritas por Timothy Zahn han alcanzado los cuatro millones de copias en global. Desde 1978 ha escrito cerca de setenta relatos y novelas cortas, veinte novelas y tres recopilaciones de relatos cortos. Ganó el premio a mejor novela en los Hugo Awards de 1984. Es célebre por siete novelas de Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command, Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future, Survivors Quest y Outbound Flight. En sus orígenes, la ciencia ficción solía dar más importancia a la creación de mundos que a la de personas. Las cosas (fueran planetas, astronaves o máquinas maravillosas) recibían a menudo más atención que las personas, que, en una paradójica inversión de roles, cedían al objeto el papel de sujeto. Pero, tras su primitiva euforia tecnológica, la ciencia ficción ha ido poniendo cada vez más énfasis en lo que Ballard llamó la exploración del espacio interior del hombre, en contraposición a la del espacio exterior. Desde esta perspectiva, el tema del encuentro adquiere una nueva dimensión: ya no se trata tanto de cruzar enormes distancias cósmicas para establecer contacto con los otros, con los extraños, sino, sobre todo, de cruzar los abismos psíquicos que separan a cada cual de los demás, sean o no extraterrestres.

Chapter 32 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarIt is the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War. The New Republic and Imperial Remnants struggle for stability. On Kashyyyk, Leia Organa Solo and Chewbacca uncover the identity of the aliens responsible for their many attempted abductions, and head back to Coruscant with a promise of parley over the Forest Moon of Endor.Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon had prepared an assault on the Sluis Van Shipyards, presently a hive for repurposed warships that are filling the logistical demands of the burgeoning New Republic. Using prototype cloaking technology, a freighter positions itself among the skeleton-crewed warships to unload a swarm of mole miners and TIE fighters, intended to board and hijack them.Wedge Antilles is already running escort to one such freighter Larkhess, and engages the threat forthwith. The Millenium Falcon, having just arrived from Myrkr, also engages the swarm of TIE fighters. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker identify the mole miners as the ones stolen from Lando Calrissian's mining operation on Nkllon. Injured though he is, Lando uses his override codes to disable the hijacked warships, though in the process leaving them all but destroyed.Thrawn graciously admits defeat to Pellaeon, edifying him on the importance of keeping the long game in mind. Chapter 32Lando's override of the mole miners has brought a quick end to the assault. However with capital ship support withdrawn, the remaining Imperial forces prove obstinate; with many space troopers willing to act as suicide bombers rather than assent to the call for surrender.The captain of the Larkhess voices the bleak outcome of the battle: this many decapitated warships is going to be hard to spin as a victory. Han receives a call from Leia: Akbar has been arrested for treason. Han will head immediately to Coruscant, with Luke just a few hours behind as soon as his X-Wing is able.TO BE CONTINUED … Links, Share, and SupportDocumentation for this chapterCross platform link for this chapterDiscuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteHosts' ThoughtsIs Zahn an MC Hammer fan?Han's idea is going to be such a political headacheImperial troopers are very committed to the cause: thoughts on Imperial culture?Support the Show.

Chapter 31 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarLuke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo have been on the run from a mysterious taskforce set on abducting them, directed from the shadows of Imperial Command by Grand Admiral Thrawn. On Kashyyyk, Leia uncovers the identity of the Noghri assailants from one they manage to pull into custody.On Myrkr, Luke crashes in the wilderness with Mara Jade, an ex-Imperial operative with a mortal rancour for him. Caught in the act of an incidental kidnapping, Talon Karrde feels morally obliged to break his long-fought independence to work with Han Solo and Lando Calrissian in extracting Luke and Mara from the wilderness.Hoping to delay retribution from Grand Admiral Thrawn for his concealed (albeit reluctant) partisanship, Karrde stages an ambush in which Lando stakes his life on Luke's Jedi intuition. The gamble costs him dearly, leaving him mortally wounded, but betting on Luke wins out even without use of the Force.After a few weeks unconscious and imprisoned, a short-lived escape attempt, and days trekking through the wilderness with an animus Jade, Luke leaves Myrkr a free man with Han Solo and injured Lando Calrissian. Bound for Sluis Van, they hope to get Lando much needed medical attention, as well as repairs to Luke's crippled X-Wing.However, at the edge of the Sluissi system, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon are prepared for their assault on the Shipyards.Chapter 31The Sluis Van Shipyards are mired with repurposed warships trying to make up for the logistical deficiencies of the New Republic.While awaiting the processing of his charge, Wedge Antilles's instincts tell him to investigate an approaching freighter. Just before Rogue Squadron's approach, it literally explodes with activity, releasing TIE fighters and unidentified snub crafts. Having presently arrived, the Millenium Falcon jumps the docking regulations to enter the fray; Han and Luke both identify the snubs as Lando's stolen mole miners. At the edge of the Sluissi system, Thrawn and Pellaeon direct the Imperial assault. Upon seeing the Falcon, Thrawn is now certain of Karrde's earlier deception, but tucks that away for a later time. As the battle continues, Wedge, Han, and Luke discover the mole miners are being used to hijack the repurposed warships running materiel through the shipyard. Injured though he is, Lando activates his override codes for the mole miners, boring through the bridge of every escaping warship. Links, Share, and SupportDocumentation for this chapterCross platform link for this chapterDiscuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsConfirmed: Star Wars has teaStormtroopers still considered very threateningZahn really captures Han's mannerisms so well Support the Show.

Chapter 30 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarLuke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo have been on the run from a mysterious taskforce set on abducting them, directed from the shadows of Imperial Command by Grand Admiral Thrawn. On Kashyyyk, Leia uncovers the identity of the Noghri assailants from one they manage to pull into custody.In the Sluissi Sector, Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon are prepared for their assault on the Sluis Van Shipyards, prototype cloaking technology in-hand and operational.On Myrkr, Luke ends up captured, disarmed, and recaptured, trekking through the wilderness with ex-Imperial operative Mara Jade. Thrawn had left a contingent of Stormtroopers at their exitpoint to intercept whom Thrawn suspected was Skywalker. Talon Karrde worked with Han Solo and Lando Calrissian to extract Luke and Mara, hoping to delay retribution from the Grand Admiral for his concealed (albeit reluctant) partisanship.In the ensuing ambush, Lando stakes his life on Luke's Jedi intuition. The gamble costs him dearly, leaving him mortally wounded, but betting on Luke wins out even without use of the Force.Chapter 30In the aftermath of the firefight, Karrde directs his people to evacuate Myrkr, believing their ruse impossible to hide from Thrawn's observational and inferential prowess. Before parting ways, he asks Solo to loan one of the New Republic 's gutted warships to help with the evacuation.Luke and Han help an injured but very much alive Lando onto the Millennium Falcon. They debrief each other as they depart, and Han says that he wants to take a detour through Sluis Van to give Lando proper medical treatment and Luke some much needed rest before diving into the political hotbed on Coruscant.However: Lying in wait at Sluis Van, Thrawn has begun his operation to take ships out of the shipyard. Upon hearing that the Imperial detachment on Myrkr has failed to report in, he concludes that Skywalker was indeed there, undoubtedly aided by Karrde. He makes a point of deferring retribution to focus on the imminent battle. Links, Share, and SupportDocumentation for this chapterCross platform link for this chapterDiscuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteTranscriptSupport the Show.

Chapter 29 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarGrand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon are engaged in preparations to assault the Sluis Van Shipyards. They have left a contingent of Stormtroopers at Hyllyard on Myrkr to intercept the survivors of a crash. Thrawn correctly suspects it may involve Luke Skywalker, but has insufficient evidence to implicate Talon Karrde in his duplicity. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian however sleuth out the truth, begrudging Karrde into cooperating to bring Luke back to safety.In the forest, Luke is marched by Mara Jade towards Hyllyard. Between the dangers of the forest and sleepless rotations, her animosity has boiled over to the point of confession. Before the deposition of the Emperor, she had held the position of Emperor's Hand: a covert operative answering to Palpatine's very mind.Disguised as best they can, Mara and Luke exit the forest into Imperial custody. As they are marched through Hyllyard, Karrde's men hand over a roughed up Han Solo. Han covertly alerts Luke and Mara of an imminent ambush, but Luke sees a tactical alternative. He creates a ruckus so that R2-D2 can inform the ambushers (via C-3PO in binary droid-speak) on the optimal timing for their attack. Chapter 29The ambush is set, but with new information from C-3PO, Lando and Karrde's administrator Aves butt heads over whether to abide by their strategic preparations or Luke's intuition. Blaster to Ave's head, Lando stakes his and Karrde's mens' lives on Luke; a gamble that leaves him mortally wounded.In the firezone, Luke, Mara, and Han take cover until Luke can engage his plan. On his command, Han creates a distraction for R2-D2 to toss Luke's lightsaber for him. In the confusion, Luke fells the very archway the Imperials are using for cover, destroying the armoured Imperial Chariot. Links, Share, and SupportDocumentation for this chapterCross platform link for this chapterDiscuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsAt first I thought Han had Hoodini his way out of the cuffs and was immediately disappointed to remember he was set up with dummy cuffs"Blazing green blade" :( there goes my theory (though Luke was the POV character so maybe there's special pleading to be had)“The blade slicing through the listening stormtrooper armour with hardly a tug to mark its passing.” HOLY S***Luke casually destroying cultural artefacts throughout this bookBimm tapestriesMykyrian architecture(More?

Chapter 28 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn.The Story So FarAfter Luke Skywalker's X-Wing sustained damage to its hyperdrive in an altercation with an Imperial Star Destroyer, Grand Admiral Thrawn puts out a bounty for his capture. Perchance (or perhaps something more sinister) Luke is picked up by smuggling lord Talon Karrde, who is reluctant to break his neutrality in the struggle between the Imperial Remnants and the New Republic.They return to Myrkr, but Luke escapes followed by Mara Jade. Luke crashes both his and his pursuer's Skipray starfighters in the harsh Mykyr forest. Jade recaptures Luke, marching him at blasterpoint through the forest.Circumstantially present to witness the chase, Thrawn is told by Karrde that it is an internal dispute. Thrawn departs to prepare for a military operation, but suspecting subterfuge leaves a contingent of stormtroopers to receive the crashed pilots trekking through the wilderness.Having uncovered the incidental abduction of Luke, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian work with the indebted Karrde to guide Mara and Luke to safety.In the forest, Luke and Mara receive the encrypted warning of the waiting stormtroopers. After sleepless days of marching, Mara reaches a breaking point and reveals that she was an operative, known as the Emperor's Hand; the Emperor's death and her own subsequent ruination she blames entirely on him.Chapter 28After the catharsis about her past, Mara has dropped her overt hostility and adopted a more surly attitude towards Luke, more willingly working with him to exit the forest.With the sound of the Imperial speeders echoing around them, Luke and Mara discuss the best strategy for emergence; he stows his lightsaber into R2-D2's dome for safekeeping, they exchange weapons to swap apparent roles, and Mara applies some erythrogenic/anaphylactic local flora to Luke's face to obscure his identity.Prepared, they emerge from the forest into the hands of the Imperials. They are taken to the major in charge of the Imperial contingent who regards them with suspicion. In spite of Luke's feigned protests, they are both detained until further interrogation in the city.On Hyllyard's highstreet, a group of Karrde's henchmen is relieved of their weapons while delivering a scoundrel — a roughed up Han Solo — for Imperial Justice. However, Han is a plant, here to warn the Imperial detainees of Karrde's imminent ambush.

Chapter 27 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn.The Story So FarThe New Republic is in the painful process of transitioning from a military power to a political one. However, the continuing threat of the Imperial Remnants have come under the command of a new, unknown and prestigious commander, Grand Admiral Thrawn. The Admiral's plot to overthrow the New Republic and reestablish the Galactic Empire involves kidnapping the New Republic's Force-sensitive heroes, pregnant Leia Organa Solo and Luke Skywalker, in order to negotiate the allegiance of Dark Jedi clone, Joruus C'baoth.On Kashyyyk, Leia and Chewbacca thwart another abduction and, during the interrogation of a captured Noghri operative, Leia is identified by Khabarakh as the heir of Darth Vader, whom the Noghri people revere. Despite Salporin — Chewbacca's childhood friend — having died in the attempted abduction, Leia grants clemency in the hopes of being granted a solo parley on the Noghri homeworld.On Myrkr, Luke is at the mercy of the unforgiving wilderness and animus Mara Jade, as she marches him at blasterpoint back to civilization. Reaching a breaking point, Jade reveals that she was an operative subordinate to the Emperor himself: the Emperor's Hand. Blaming Luke for the despoliation of the Emperor and all that buttressed her existence, she begrudges the charity that he shows her in spite of all her animosity.Chapter 27Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pelleaon are entering active preparation for the raid on Sluis Van. The Imperial Remnants have stretched their resources to implement the prototype shield technology they recovered from the Emperor's storehouse on Wayland, and now is the final test.Thrawn is pleased with the outcome of both their preparations and the prototype test, and greenlights the Sluissi operation. Pellaeon raises objections to Thrawn's self-assurance, but has his points thoroughly rebuked by the Admiral. The operation will go ahead as planned without the involvement of C'baoth.On Coruscant, the political climate is reaching a boiling point, with support waning from the bureaucratic Admiral Akbar in favour of the sentient-of-the-people Fey'lya. Wedge grimly accepts his marching orders to fly escort for a shipment bound for Bpfassh via Sluis Van.Links, Share and SupportDocumentation for this chapterCross platform link for this chapterDiscuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsTHIS is how you show the bomb under the tableThrawn has been cold about the noghri before, but "long before we run out of noghri" paints a new picture with the revelation from Khabarakh. Has Thrawn galaxy brained a supply need on Bpfassh that takes his materiel through Sluis Van?Is C'baoth's motivation in Thrawn's blind spot?What does the shield tech do?What did you think of the exchange between Wedge and the customs officer?Is wedge going to single-handedly stop Thrawn?Thrawn taunting Pellaeon over being force puppetsSupport the Show.

Chapter 26 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn.The Story So FarOn Kashyyyk, Leia Organa Solo has gone into hiding with Chewbacca but they are once again set upon by their attempted abductors. Through a mixture of struggle, luck, and perceptiveness, the kidnapping is thwarted with an assailant in custody. During the interrogation, the Noghri Khabarakh identifies Leia as the Mal'ary'ush — the daughter and heir to Darth Vader, whom the Noghri people hold in high esteem. Despite having killed Chewbacca's childhood friend, Leia grants clemency in the hopes of being granted a solo parley on the Noghri homeworld.On Myrkr after having crashed in the wilderness, Luke Skywalker and sworn mortal enemy Mara Jade have to rely on each other's skills to survive the return to civilization. Mara marches Skywalker at blasterpoint as she struggles with her ideals, vendetta, and the realities of her situation. Despite the obvious enmity, she remains reticent about her past and his transgression.To make matters more complicated, Grand Admiral Thrawn has left a contingent of stormtroopers at their exit point to catch Mara's superior Talon Karrde in the lie of having no involvement with Skywalker, as Karrde also hides Han Solo and Lando Calrissian away from the observant Imperial Commander.Han and Lando are first to uncover the deception and gain valuable intel that may lead the New Republic to identify Thrawn as the mysterious commander of the reorganised Imperial Remnants.Privately, Karrde laments his predicament and reluctantly gives the order for his people to execute Skywalker should his deception be exposed to the Imperials.Chapter 26After two days straight using stimpills to evade sleep, Mara is starting to crack; she can feel her reflexes dulled in a close encounter with a vornskr. To her chagrin, Skywalker seems to be taking every opportunity to sleep.They stop to retrieve information from Skywalker's X-Wing, finally receiving a message from Karrde. To Mara's surprise, a New Republic droid is representing both Karrde and Solo in their debrief. They learn that the Grand Admiral's suspicions have led to an Imperial detachment awaiting their emergence from the forest at Hyllyard. Given that Karrde's explanation to Thrawn gendered the identities of neither the “disgruntled employee” nor the pursuer, Karrde suggested that Skywalker and Mara swap roles to obfuscate Skywalker's identity.They are set upon by another vornskr, but this time Mara is too slow to react and is knocked unconscious. Luke jumps into action, reclaiming his lightsaber and cutting down the threat. Jade regains consciousness, but menaces Luke with her blaster to disarm. He acquiesces to throwing down his lightsaber, imploring once more to understand his transgression against her; to which bitterly she too acquiesces.Mara Jade was known as the Emperor's Hand; an operative outside Imperial bureaucracy that could utilise any means necessary to achieve Palpatine's machinations. With the Emperor assassinated, she lost everything, and had been scrounging a life together since Imperial defeat over the Forest Moon of Endor.Share and SupportFind links and more in our Release DocumentShare this episodeDiscuss on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteSupport the Show.

Chapter 25 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn.The Story So FarLeia Organa Solo and Luke Skywalker are on the run as a mysterious race of aliens are trying to kidnap them. Unbeknownst to them, they are a task force under the control of a new, clandestine leader — Grand Admiral Thrawn: a leader with machinations to overthrow the burgeoning New Republic and re-establish the Galactic Empire.Han Solo and Lando Calrissian have met with smuggling lord Talon Karrde, offering stable contracts fulfilling the logistical needs of the New Republic. Karrde however wishes to remain independent, but caught by his own ideals and the burden of entertaining both sides, he is caught in the act and forced to divulge information that may lead Han and Lando to the identification of the mysterious Imperial Commander, as well as to admit to being complicit in the capture of Luke Skywalker.Only moments before the revelation, Luke managed to escape but crashes both his own ship and that of his pursuer. Tethered to each other for survival, Karrde's maverick lieutenant, Mara Jade, marches the recaptured Rebel Hero through the Mrkyr wilderness, a species of which has been used to suppress Luke's connection to the Force and leave him vulnerable.On Kashyyyk, Leia and Chewbacca have gone into hiding, under the protection of Chewbacca's childhood friend Salporin and Ralracheen. Almost immediately after their arrival, Leia spots one of their kidnappers. Despite their quick response, the wookiees find no evidence of having been watched.Chapter 25Leia awakens before dawn with a vague sense of having overstayed her period of safety. She is indeed correct as the grey-skinned aliens appear out of the gloom. She smites one of her would-be kidnappers and another — after mysteriously faltering — is knocked unconscious by Chewbacca.Together with Ralracheen, they descend the Great Tree. The assailants want Leia alive, and so  pursue at a distance, which Leia uses to her advantage to lay a trap to disable the remaining kidnappers.With one assailant in custody, Leia proceeds with an interrogation. The kidnapper, Khabarakh, identifies Leia as the Mal'ary'ush — the daughter and heir to Lord Darth Vader. Khabarakh divulges the identity and motivations of the noghri people through their debt of gratitude to Vader and — by extension — the Empire. Leia manoeuvres negotiations to extend a parlay between the noghri and Leia herself.Khabarakh is sent offworld to convey Leia's offer of a parlay to the noghri, as begins a period of mourning for Chewbacca's lifelong friend Salporin, who was killed in the attack.LinksKill Bill PropWhat is 'oral posture'?Stuart's post on the r/MawInstillationShare and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteMore in Release DocumentSupport the Show.

Chapter 24 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarLeia Organa Solo has gone into hiding with Chewbacca on his homeworld of Kashyyyk, though their attempts seem like they may be for not.On Myrkr, Luke Skywalker, having just escaped from the capture of smugglers Talon Karrde and Mara Jade, crashes his and his pursuer's starfighters into the forest. Jade and Skywalker are tethered and dependent on each other for survival. Luke is now at the mercy of this woman whose life he supposedly ruined and wants him dead.Back at his compound, Karrde is hosting an Imperial visitation while trying to hide from both Imperials and New Republic representatives, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, his dealings with each side, while also dealing with his escaped prisoner, Skywalker. Chapter 24Karrde apologises to Han and Lando after their dinner interruption by the Imperials. Han presses Karrde about his dealing with them but Karrde refuses to sell them information but does convince them to stay for their safety. Han and Lando ostensibly return to the Falcon but break off behind the treeline to play detective on the prisoner that Karrde had been keeping in one of the storehouses. While their investigation is interrupted by the reappearance of Karrde, they piece the clues together that Luke had been the prisoner. Karrde admits to the situation and tells them that — as far as they know — Luke and Jade are safe and making their return through the forest. On the Chimera, Thrawn suspects the truth of Karrde's deception and dispatches a contingent of Stormtroopers to lie in wait for the survivors of the crash to emerge from the forest at the closest settlement. In the forest as dusk fades away, Mara grapples with her cognitive dissonance between newfound loyalties and her fierce independent streak. She is frustrated at the encumbrance of Skywalker and his droid. After putting down a wild vornskr, she takes some stimpills and renews her determination to be the one to kill Skywalker when this is all through. At his compound, Karrde laments his choices and how they have brought him to this predicament. He is reluctant to order the execution of Skywalker, but would rather that than taking his chances having crossed Grand Admiral Thrawn. Karrde wonders if — like his pet vornskrs — his domestication of Mara has taken enough to navigate a safe return. LinksMonty Python and the Holy Grail (Get on with it!)Speak No Evil (2022)The Fall of The Simpsons: How it Happened Terminal vs instrumental goalsHal fixing a light bulb (from Malcolm in the Middle) Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' Thoughts[see our doc]Support the Show.

Chapter 22 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarLuke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo are evading Imperial capture by the unknown leader of the Imperial remnants, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn uses the ysalamiri to void the Force so that he may negotiate the continued allegiance of dark Jedi clone Joruus C'Baoth, who has called to Luke to meet on Jormark through the Force. Leia has taken shelter with Chewbacca on Kashyyyk, while Luke — desiring help to rebuild the Jedi Order — follows the mysterious beckon. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian find a point of contact with Smuggling Lord Talon Karrde's organisation, hoping to extend legitimate business relationships fulfilling the logistical needs of the New Republic. Luke was ambushed by Imperials on his way to Jormark, narrowly escapes, but is eventually captured by Independent Talon Karrde in deep space, after being disarmed both technologically and metaphysically. He awakens a week later to find himself still firmly in Karrde's grasp while Karrde deliberates his fate and his leftenant — Mara Jade — seethes over the pain Luke has seemingly caused in her veiled past. With Solo and Calrissian inbound and Skywalker detained, Karrde and Jade make temporary arrangements to keep the New Republic representatives unaware of each other. Luke is trying to take advantage of the impromptu situation to mount his escape. Chapter 22Han's pitch to join the New Republic fails to win over Karrde, who values independence — thus the appearance of neutrality — over all. So when Han offers a covert arrangement, Karrde warns not to underestimate the reach of Imperial Intelligence, which strikes a sore spot and reminds Han to ask for an adept slicer, whom Karrde graciously agrees to introduce over dinner. During their meal and shortly after introductions, Karrde has to excuse himself to tend to an emergency: the Grand Admiral is announcing that he himself will be making a courtesy call. Mara is impatient to propitiate Thrawn by handing over the people she sees as impediments but — among other considerations, being the gracious host that he is — Karrde views Solo and Calrissian as his guests and thus entitled to his protection. He orders her to prepare for Thrawn's arrival and obfuscate any indications of non-neutrality.Unknowing of the developing predicament, Luke escapes from the storehouse with R2-D2 they were being held in and head for his X-Wing. When it's not where they expects it to be, they commandeer one of Karrde's fighters to facilitate their escape. Jade witnesses the unauthorised flight and deduces that Skywalker has escaped. Chiding herself over her failures to exact her vendetta, she is now in unhindered pursuit of him.LinksWe've reached our character limit.

Lots of key comic book back issues have been on the rise lately. Gem Mint and Comic Tom are here to help you navigate the Hottest 10 Back Issues for this week! Frank Miller's Wolverine is unstoppable, Star Wars: Heir to the Empire seems to stay hot, Jim Steranko issues of Nick Fury are heating up as the Secret Invasion near, the 'first' appearance of Wolverine is finally becoming a grail comic, Amazing Spider-Man 252 remains a modern comic book classic, Neal Adams covers for Batman never go out of style, the Prowler is making news in the Spider-Verse, Ahsoka Tano is cutting down the competition, Rom Space Knight is charging into battle, and Lobo is hoping to ride to the top spot yet again!

Chapter 21 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarLuke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo are evading Imperial capture as — unknown to them — Grand Admiral Thrawn has promised them to dark Jedi clone Joruus C'Baoth in exchange for his allegiance. While Chewbacca and Leia go to ground on Kashyyyk, Luke is captured by Talon Karrde in deep space, after being disarmed both physically and metaphysically. He awakens a week later to find himself still firmly in Karrde's grasp while the smuggling lord deliberates his fate and his lieutenant — Mara Jade — seethes over the pain Luke has seemingly caused in her mysterious past. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian find a point of contact with Karrde's organisation, hoping to extend legitimate business relationships from the New Republic. Tipping Fynn Torve off to escape the entanglement with local authorities of a cargo seizure, Han and Lando broker a deal with Torve to get a face-to-face with Talon Karrde back at Karrde's base of operations. Chapter 21Mara Jade convenes with Talon Karrde to discuss the conundrum facing them: Han and Lando will be arriving presently, escorting an indebted Fynn Torv. Even though they hold Luke hostage, Karrde is unwilling to tip his hand without first determining Thrawn's specific interest in Skywalker, and thus his fair market value. Karrde decides the best course of action is for Jade to relocate Skywalker to a storeroom while he plays host to Skywalker's unwitting allies. In the storeroom, Luke presumes that he has been left to his own devices in a sudden scramble. He makes contact with R2 in the next room of the storehouse, but — underestimating Karrde's thoroughness — he finds no purchase on which to mount an escape. That is, until he realises an advantage hiding right under his own (prosthetic) skin.  LinksHK47: How to kill a jediThing is LSw's HandWilly Wonka is the surviving Weasly Brother theorytFA original openingThe Lightsaber blaster rifleGL's opinion on the EUWhen Luke is directing Leia to destroy Jabba's Barge, he gets shot in the handComment your favourite poster on our Instagram storyShare and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsA very specific "f*** you" to Tim in this chapter Can Jedi meditate when their Force ability is cut off?Luke disassembling his hand is some SAW sh**Are we referring back to the OT too often?Maddening Jedi serenitySupport the Show.

They are also trying to contact smuggling lord Talon Karrde in hopes to extend legitimate business relationships from the New Republic. Thrawn is preparing to attack Sluis Van so rather than continue their own pursuit he orders a bounty on Luke's capture. Luck would have it that Mara Jade drops the Wild Karrde out of hyperspace for a routine procedure to find a stranded Luke leading to his capture by Karrde. When Luke awakens, he finds himself helpless, severed from the Force, while Karrde weighs his fate. Chapter 20Han and Lando arrive on Abregado Rae looking for a point of contact with Karrde's organisation. Before leaving the ship, Han exchanges coded messages with Winter over comms about the increasingly strained situation on Coruscant. They disembark and enter LoBue, a local casino. Han spots a familiar face, Fynn Torve, and wedges himself into their ongoing game of sabacc. Han surreptitiously reports to Torve that his ship is being seized. Before the game can progress past the deal, though, Han is accused of cheating by a burly reverend. In the ensuing commotion, Lando escapes with the contact. Back on the Falcon, Han and Lando broker a deal with Torve to get a face-to-face with Talon Karrde back at Karrde's base of operations. LinksGial Ackbar | Wookieepedia xkcd - What If: Everybody Jump The Mandalorian - IMDb Scott's toysShare and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsObrigado means thanks in Portuguese Oh hey, Winter's back!Dadmiral Ackbar

Luke Skywalker was on his way to meet Joruus C'Baoth, whom Luke believes will be able to help him rebuild the Jedi Order. However, the Jedi Master is actually a Dark Jedi clone in league with the Grand Admiral. Luke is ambushed by Thrawn en route, but in the escape his X-Wing fails, leaving him stranded in deep space. Despondent, he enters a Jedi hibernation, delegating R2 to perform the tedious repairs to the subspace radio so that they might hail much needed help.Leia Organa Solo and Chewbacca head to the wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk seeking sanctuary.

Stranded in deep space with  no alternatives, they accept passage to an undisclosed location. Luke is taken to meet the ship's captain, Talon Karrde. Karrde is unimpressed with Luke's appearance, and directs his attention to the cockpit where Luke senses the bitter, black hate hidden within Mara Jade.

Chapter 17 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarLuke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, Han Solo, and Chewbacca travel to Nkllon seeking Lando Calrissian. However, before they can touch down, the mining planet is raided by the Imperials. During the ensuing space battle Luke's mind is touched by another Jedi. He intends to follow the beckon to Jomark hoping to find a master that can guide him in rebuilding the Jedi Order. Leia and Chewbacca head to the wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk, while Han and Lando venture to make contact with aloof smuggling lord Talon Karrde. Grand Admiral Thrawn ambushes Luke on his heading but fails to capture him. Rather than pursue Luke further, he orders Captain Pallaeon to put a bounty on Skywalker's capture, as he refocuses the Imperial Fleet for their upcoming raid on Sluis Van.  Chapter 17As Thrawn had predicted, catastrophic failure befalls Luke's X-Wing half a lightyear after his escape. Both the hyperdrive and subspace radio are damaged beyond repair, leaving him and R2 (in his own words) where "we can't leave, we aren't likely to be found, and can't call for help". After investigating the damage, Luke decides the only thing to do is to try to reconstruct the subspace radio. Delegating the tedious task to R2, he enters a Jedi hibernation. Leia and Chewie arrive to Kashyyyk, and the tree-city of Rwookrrorro. They are greeted by Ralrracheen and Salporin, and Leia is surprised that she can communicate effectively with Ralrracheen. Leia learns a little about wookiee culture, but on the way to her supposed safehouse, she spots one of the aliens responsible for her attempted kidnapping on Bimmisaari. LinksMore in the Release Document belowThe ingenious living bridges of IndiaStar Wars X-Wing Cross SectionOn being a science consultant for Avengers: EndgameRadium Girls | Maximum FunThe Enigma of Amigara Fault (claustrophobia trigger warning)TRUE Limits Of Humanity – The Final Border We Will Never CrossShare and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsMore in the Release Document aboveDeep Space SectionCourage the Cowardly AstromechTechnobabble: yay or nay?Luke poking around sets off my claustrophobiaKashyyyk SectionWriting around language barriersLeia is a racist?Rwrookrrorro is the village you go to in KOTOR!Support the Show.

Chapter 16 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarGrand Admiral Thrawn is leading the Imperial remnants from the shadows in a grand conspiracy to destroy the New Republic and re-establish the Galactic Empire, employing the help of dark Jedi clone, Joruus C'Baoth. Last and first of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker lacks the confidence to be the teacher needed to rebuild the Jedi Order. However, during a space battle in the Athega System, Luke makes contact with a Jedi promising to lead him forward.  All the while, Leia and Luke are on the run to evade the capture of the mysterious Imperial commander. They've run to Lando Calrissian on Nklon, and now Chewbacca leads Leia to Kashyyyk for protection while Han Solo and Lando broadcast decoy signals giving the illusion that Leia is still on the run.Thrawn is not so easily deceived, as he plans another ambush for Luke. Chapter 16Luke is pulled out of hyperspace into a slaughter: his Jedi senses tell him that there's no one left alive on the cargo ship incurring the ire of an Imperial Star Destroyer. He narrowly escapes the literal tractor beam grasp of the Imperials but unwittingly incurs serious damage to his X-Wing. Thrawn is none too pleased with the performance of his men during the confrontation and shows just how unforgiving he can be. Instead of pursuing Luke themselves to focus on their upcoming attack on Sluis Van, Thrawn orders a bounty to go out on Luke's capture, knowing that his hyperdrive will fail presently due to the damages sustained in the confrontation. LinksWanted (2008) - IMDbBruce Almighty (2003) - IMDbRickroll - Know Your MemeProof of 1 + 1 = 2Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsJedi hibernation trance seems useful.Having the freighter as a decoy target is a pretty smart strategy.That was such a fun way to escape a tractor beam.Love how Rukh just showed up. Rukh seems a lot messier than Vader's Force choking.Another reason for Karrde to be in the story!!Has anyone read the Art of War?Conscripts versus enlistees Sluis Van seems to be very important… Support the Show.

After turning to Dagobah hoping to find instruction, he leaves with a starship remote from a dark Jedi possibly slain by Master Yoda.All the while, Leia and Luke are on the run to evade the capture of a mysterious Imperial commander.

He recruited C'Baoth and has promised the Skywalkers in exchange for his allegiance.Lastly, Talon Karrde is a Smuggling Lord with a new apprentice, the enigmatic Mara Jade.

Chapter 14 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarGrand Admiral Thrawn is leading the Imperial remnants from the shadows in a grand plan to destroy the New Republic and re-establish the Galactic Empire. He commands a raid on the Athega System just as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa-Solo, Han Solo, and Chewbacca arrive looking to garner help from Lando Calrissian. During the skirmish, the imperials make away with mining equipment and the Dark Jedi clone commanding Thrawn's fleet, Jaruus C'baoth, takes the opportunity to make contact with Luke. Thrawn is none too pleased to learn of this contact and plots with Captain Pallaeon to disillusion C'baoth of his self-importance and impetuousness. Chapter 14Lando is distraught at the loss of half his workforce — 51 mole miners stolen — in the raid! Han and Leia ask for help, and a plan is devised to send Leia to Kashyyyk with Chewbacca while Han and Lando broadcast decoy signals giving the illusion that Leia is still on the run. In order to achieve this, in a violation of his programming, C-3PO has his voice altered to perfectly imitate Leia's. Luke shares his findings from Dagobah; what Lando identifies as a Beckon Call — a device that summons a slave-ciruit-rigged ship at a moment's notice. He later confides in Leia his true reason for searching that specific location and tells her about the contact he had during the space battle earlier. She divulges the rumour of a Master C'baoth on Jormark, and while they suspect a trap, Luke is eager at what the opportunity could mean. LinksRatatouille (2007) - IMDbKirby Series Explained (in 6 minutes)Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998) - IMDbGeorge Lucas' Theory About the Narrator (Gizmodo)Tricking HK-50 to violate his supposed ethics programming in KOTOR 2 Let's PlaySith (Etymology) - Wikipedia Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsLando: "respectable"Lando has experience using the calling beacon to fight though hostilesAlternate history of the Clone Wars: Dark Jedi clones?Vader being called a Dark JediStuart's speculation in chapter 9 confirmedFINALLY LANDO IN THE FLESHHan doesn't seem to mind Lando's behavior towards LeiaMr. Why-Is-He-In-This-StoryOH MY GOD CHEWIE ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED SOMETHINGWaiting to leave gives Thrawn time to drop probesNobody ever respects 3PO's boundariesA2 has PTSDA jedi being wrong?

Despite losing time during the contact, Luke and the Falcon chase off the Imperial raid. Our point of view then switches to Thrawn and Pellaeon reflecting on the aftermath. Thrawn's satisfaction at the successful acquisition of 51 mole miners is overshadowed by C'baoth's declaration of making contact with Luke. The Jedi Master insists that it is time for his own trap to be laid, leaving Pellaeon and Thrawn to scheme on the disillusionment of C'baoth's self-importance. LinksStar Wars: Return of the Jedi - Luke speaks to JabbaThe Failure of the Grey JediTrope Talk: Are We The Baddies?My Hair!

Captain Pelleaon devises a plan to disseminate information that might lure Luke to C'baoth instead of sending more noghri to capture him. Finally, Mara Jade has apprenticed to the smuggler Talon Karrde as they play cat-and-mouse to tease information out of each other.Chapter 11On a hunch, Luke travels to Dagobah hoping to find something — anything — left by Yoda to guide his uncertain footsteps into the future. Finding nothing in Yoda's old dwelling, he ventures into the Dark Side Cave and is confronted with a vision; a retelling of Luke's execution at the Great Pit of Carkoon where his lightsaber is intercepted by a mysterious woman. Rewarded for his ordeal, Luke emerges with a nondescript gadget with markings that R2-D2 suspects might be recognised by Lando. LinksDagobah - Star Wars Background Ambience Yoda on Dagobah Deleted Scene with audio from Leia on Alderaan Scene Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsLuke's attitude towards dwelling on Yoda is a good display of mindfulness.THE CAAAAAAAVELuke not realizing how structures would decay in a swamp is a good bit of characterization.Which side of the Force does curiosity serve?Who was the woman in Luke's vision? Yet another name that's difficult to pronounce (Nkllon).

Chapter 10 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarGrand Admiral Thrawn has been escalating his pressure on the disputed territory between the Empire and the New Republic. Now with Master Joruus C'baoth at his disposal, Thrawn commands three simultaneous planetary raids to test both the skill and the compliance of the Dark Jedi. Smuggler Talon Karrde and his apprentice Mara Jade seem to be in the right place at the right time to witness the raid on Bpfassh, while the New Republic is on the back foot as its resources and attention are being reallocated into establishing governance despite being at war. Leia's Jedi training has started sporadically, while Luke worries that he might not be the teacher that is needed of one tasked with rebuilding the Jedi Order. Chapter 10Leia and Han survey the damage on Bpfassh under the protective detail of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. Leia's new Jedi senses alert them just-in-time to another ambush by the same alien species that ambushed them on Bimmisaari. Despite being able to repel their assailants, they are nonetheless closer to understanding the motives and origin of these mysterious aliens. After an unproductive call with Admiral Ackbar, Han decides it's time to take the matter of their safety into their own hands.LinksWedge Antilles | Wookieepedia What Does a BROWN Colored Lightsaber Mean?

Chapter 9 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarGrand Admiral Thrawn has allied himself with a Dark Jedi by promising to deliver Luke Skywalker and the pregnant Leia Organa Solo. Master Joruus C'baoth shows to be an impatient man as the first kidnapping attempt is foiled by Skywalker's warrior prowess. Despite the New Republic needing to raise its diplomatic image, logistically it's easier said than done while they are still at war with the Imperial Remnants. Leia is torn between her diplomatic duties and Jedi training, while Luke is stuck between being the last of the Old Jedi and the first of the New.Chapter 9The Imperials conduct three concurrent hit-and-fade operations in the Suis Sector. While Grand Admiral Thrawn plays his cards close to his chest, Captain Pellaeon deduces that the exercise is as much to test Master C'Baoth's mettle as to enforce the chain of command. Pellaeon is more than a little shaken at the display of power from C'Baoth. Meanwhile, the raid on Bpfassh has been observed by smugglers Talon Karrde and Marra Jade at a safe distance, Karrde seemingly having foreknowledge about the operation. To Jade's chagrin, Karrde calls off his smuggling run, citing the New Republic's imminent relief effort as a situation they wish not be entangled in. The chapter closes with news of the raids reaching Coruscant while Leia is engaged in her new lightsaber lessons. Luke laments that, while the skills come easily to himself, he may not be the teacher that she needs. LinksSiege-towers | The One Wiki to Rule Them All  How One A-Wing Killed A Super Star Destroyer  What Are Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids? Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsImperial sectionCool to see Thrawn testing his theory about Palpatine.Flare of star lines, mottling of hyperspace, flicker of pseudomotion, starlines flare and shrinkVery cool, professional battlePower struggle between Thrawn and C'baothI really like seeing limits to tacticsWhat do they mean by Star Destroyers are "siege engines"?Everything Thrawn does has multiple meanings. Smuggler SectionJade seems to have some kind of grudge against Luke.Jade is sensitive to “promises”“Promises…” This reveals a lot about her.Republic SectionWHAT COLOR IS LEIA'S LIGHTSABER Bpfassh, Draukyze (Han's lampshading)Teaching is a skillI would love to own a training remote! Jedi went crazy during the clone wars on Bpfassh?Even after Yoda died, Luke hasn't told anyone about Dagobah This is why you need to shut down your computer every so oftenSupport the Show.

Chapter 8 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarThe New Republic and Imperial Remnants are struggling for control of the galaxy, each holding comparable military might and galactic territory. Looking to reverse the tide, the last of the Imperial Grand Admirals has found and bargained for the favour of a cloned Dark Jedi, offering up both the adult and unborn Skywalkers twins. A trap for the Skywalkers was laid and sprung during a diplomatic mission for the Republic to Bimmisaari. However, the unidentified alien commandos were unprepared to face Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. Luke, Leia, and Han escape unscathed but the nature of their assailants are a mystery to them. Chapter 8Captain Pellaeon reports to Grand Admiral Thrawn, detailing the failure of the Noghri to capture the Skywalkers and the recovery of the tech found on Wayland. Dark Jedi Master C'baoth expresses his impatience and a new plan is hatched to capture the Skywalkers; one that suits Thrawn's upcoming plans that necessitate C'baoth presence for a raid on the Sluis Van shipyard. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, the New Republic are unable to identify the assailants at Bimmisaari, and as a result politics stall. While Leia Organa Solo is set to return to Bimmisaari to resume negotiations, she requests more space in her schedule to advance her Jedi studies, but finds no support within the Council, citing her expertise as indispensable.LinksStar Forge | Wookieepedia Redshirts, Retirement, and more in How to Kill a Character / Just For Fun - TV Tropes Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsOverallI like how we alternated between Imperial and Republic chapters, to having two Republic chapters, to now having a chapter that's split between both.Imperial SectionWhat could the Spaarti tubes be?

Chapter 7 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarThe New Republic and what is left of the Imperial Forces are at a turning point in their struggle for galactic control. While both sides are struggling economically, the New Republic is having trouble establishing itself politically, and the Imperial Remnants are hunting for opportunities to turn the tide. Captain Pallaeon accompanies Grand Admiral Thrawn, the last surviving Warlord appointed by Emperor Palpatine, to a storehouse of technology they hope will aid their war effort. Along with new cloaking shield technology, they ally themselves with a Dark Jedi clone, Joruus C'Baoth, promising him Leia Organa Solo's unborn twins. During the course of their diplomatic mission and while separated from Luke Skywalker, Leia and Han Solo fall prey to an ambush in the bustling markets of Bimmisaari. Chapter 7Luke frees himself from an ambush in the Bim Tower and races to rescue Leia and Han in the marketplace. Safely aboard the Millennium Falcon, Han makes the jump to lightspeed. It seems that one of the Bims was paid off to lead the protagonists into the trap but have no other information about their assailants. Leia wants to resume negotiations, but Han first wants to rendezvous with tactical support before returning. After pressure from Luke and Han, Leia agrees that she needs to start lightsaber training sooner than later. LinksStar Wars: Heir to the Empire - Part One (fixed!) by DarthAngelus - YouTubeHolodrama | WookieepediaFrank Castle (Marvel Database) is not William Castle (IMDb)Lightyear Theory: "The Movie" Andy Saw That Inspired Him To Want A Buzz Toy Wasn't A Kid's Movie : r/FanTheories Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsLuke: “Let's talk this out.” Also Luke: “There's no particular reason why any of you has to be hurt.”What would a lightsaber do against the spray?I like how clumsiness and chance play into the action“Some sort of bizarre gift wrapping”It's so cool to see Luke being so observant in combat and his precise use of telekinesis“Snap-hiss.” The key onomatopoeia for Luke's lightsaber ignitionWho was operating the Falcon's swivel gun?“I am not a committee.” GIVE LEIA A LIGHTSABERHas Leia exhibited any traits similar to Anakin?The word Bimm has lost all meaningCan C-3P0 duck?Can't believe they were attacked and are expected to just come back downSupport the Show.

Despite personal growing pains, numerous responsibilities, and logistical issues, Han, Leia, and now Luke are assigned a diplomatic mission to Bimmisaari. Luke, it seems, has been requested to join them last minute.Chapter 6Han and Leia travel with Luke  and C-3PO to the planet Bimmisaari on a diplomatic mission to negotiate the terms of the Bimm joining the New Republic. Leaving Chewbacca and R2-D2 on the Millennium Falcon, the four are treated to a brief greeting ceremony. However, before they can arrive at the planetary government, news arrives that the key negotiator for the Bimm has suddenly taken ill.Luke and Han are invited to inspect relics of the Old Republic while Leia is shown around the market, but a suspicious Han decides to join Leia instead.

While there, he encounters Jedi clone Jaruus C'baoth, whose allegiance he gains by offering him Leia's unborn twins.Chapter 5Han delivers a report on his mission to recruit smugglers to facilitate trade within the New Republic. Its lack of progress fans the flames in the ongoing feud between the present Commander in Chief, Admiral Ackbar, and the ambitious Borsk Fey'lya, Council Member and an important leader of the Bothan faction. After a short quarrel, Mon Mothma deescalates the situation by adjourning the meeting. Han is told that Luke will be accompanying him and Leia on their diplomatic mission to Bimmisaari.

His plan takes an expedition to Myrkr, where Captain Pallaeon and Tallon Karrde parley for the Empire to collect the native ysalamiri. Karrde suspects it is a tool to use against Luke Skywalker, though to what end he can only guess. Chapter 4Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pallaeon travel to Wayland, a low-tech world hiding a storehouse of the late Emperor's personal treasures and technology salient to Thrawn's grand plan. Expecting a Dark Jedi Guardian, Thrawn thwarts the usurping ruler Joruus C'baoth's snare with a demonstration of the ysalamiri's unusual ability to vacate the Force. Thrawn bargains with C'baoth to secure his allegiance in exchange for the capture of Leia's unborn Jedi twins, whom C'baoth would mould as he sees fit. Pallaeon believes C'baoth to be unstable and a dubious ally, despite Thrawn's confidence.

This week we look at the first chapter of Timothy Zhan’s classic novel Heir to the Empire. This is the book that really kicked off the expanded universe. There were Star Wars novels before this of course, but they adaptations of the movies or direct tie ins…and they were all released within a few months of the premieres. When Heir to the Empire was released there had been any Star Wars books in print since the early eighties, it shot to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List and stayed there for months. It really did change Star Wars in profound ways. I can’t recommend this book (and its two sequels) enough.

In this 58th episode, I review the Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1) by Timothy Zahn. Listen to hear why I thought it was an amazing book that did a fantastic job of handling some of the most beloved characters in fandom. Timothy Zahn knocked it out of the park in this one. I also talk about how amazing the audiobook narrated by Marc Thompson are because of his ridiculous talent for doing all the voices and all of the extra production that went into it with sound effects and music.Download the .mp3Buy the Book on Amazon (Affiliate Link):Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)Learn more about the author:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_ZahnMusic Attribution:Music by Kevin MacLeod at http://www.incompetech.comLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Visit my website: www.DanDanTheArtMan.comSupport the show AND get a free audiobook!http://www.audibletrial.com/DansBookReviewsAudiobook Pick-of-the-Week:Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition), The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1 (Affiliate Link)Written by Timothy ZahnNarrated by Marc ThompsonThis episode of Dan Dan The Art Man's Book Reviews has been brought to you by Audible.

In the summer of 1991 many Star Wars fans found a treat in their local bookstore as the story of Luke, Han and Leia was officially continued in a new book, licensed by Lucasfilm. Written by Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn, this story would become, for many fans, Episode VII and with The Force Awakens replacing the Star Wars Expanded Universe we look back at this beloved book. In this episode of The 602 Club host Ma’tthew R’ushing is joined by Bruuce Gibson and John Mi’lls to talk about Heir to the Empire. We discuss being back at the beginning, continuing the Original Trilogy, plot points, the Jedi path, new characters, things that worked and didn’t, wrapping up with our ratings.
